About
Park Name: Bamba
Chapman’s zebra is a subspecies of the plains zebra. They are native to the savannah of north-east South Africa, north to Zimbabwe, west into Botswana, the Caprivi Strip in Namibia, and southern Angola.
Fun Facts
A zebra’s stripy coat is thought to disperse more than 70% of incoming heat, preventing the animal from overheating in the African sun. Recent research also shows that a zebra’s stripes may have evolved to keep biting insects at bay – the monochrome pattern seems to throw off the visual systems of flies.
